Bulova Two-year Limited Warranty
COVERAGE:
Your new Bulova timepiece is warranted to the owner for two full years from date
of purchase. The warranty covers any and all parts of the watch that may need repair due to
defects in materials or workmanship under normal use. Bulova’s obligations hereunder are
limited to repair or replacement at its option. The warranty excludes the battery, strap and
excessive wear or damage to the case, crystal or bracelet, and does not protect against water
damage if the model is not marked water-resistant.
Bulova is not liable for any consequential or incidental damages, and any recovery may not
exceed the amount paid for the timepiece. All implied warranties, including that of merchantability,
are limited to two years. This warranty gives you specific legal rights; you may also have other rights
which vary from state to state, so the limitations in this paragraph may not apply to you.
Garantía limitada de dos años de Bulova
COBERTURA: Su nuevo reloj Bulova está garantizado al propietario durante el período de dos
años completos a partir de la fecha de la compra. La garantía cubre todas y cada una de las
partes del reloj que pudiera llegar a necesitar repararse debido a defectos en los materiales o a
la mano de obra bajo condiciones de uso normal. Las obligaciones de Bulova descritas a contin-
uación se limitan a reparar o reemplazar a su plena discreción. La garantía excluye la batería, la
correa y desgaste o daños excesivos a la caja, al cristal o brazalete, y no ofrece protección contra
daños causados por el agua en los modelos no identificados como resistentes al agua.

YOUR NEW WATCH IS A MECHANICAL WATCH (NO BATTERY)
Mechanical watches differ from Quartz watches in several respects:
1. No battery changes are needed - they are powered by a mainspring, which is wound either
by wrist movement; or, in some models, by daily winding of the setting crown.
2. Because it is a mechanical device, its accuracy is subject to the effects of gravity and
temperature. You can expect, on the average, a daily variance of up to 10 to 20 seconds for
mechanical watches.
3. With over 100 working parts, cleaning and lubrication are recommended every three to five
years for optimum accuracy and long-term efficiency.
THE AUTOMATIC SELF-WINDING MECHANICAL WATCH
The Automatic mechanical watch is self-winding once it is running. To start the watch, it must
be wound at least six or seven times before you wear it. After that, your daily activity should
wind the watch sufficiently to keep it running at night when it is not worn. If normal daily activity
is not sufficient to wind the watch automatically, manual winding may be necessary.

SETTING NON-DATE MODELS
SStteepp 11::
Pull the crown to the “OUT” position.
SStteepp 22::
Turn the hands forward (clockwise) to set the time. In order to
prevent the hands from jumping when the crown is pushed in, set the
minute hand approximately 5 minutes ahead of the desired minute
marker; then, gently turn back to the same minute marker.
SStteepp 33::
Push the crown to the “IN” position without turning.
SETTING DATE AND DAY/DATE MODELS
SStteepp 11::
Pull the crown all the way to the “OUT” position.
SStteepp 22::
With the crown still in the “OUT” position, move hands for-
ward (clockwise) until you see the date (for date only) or both day
and date change. This establishes midnight.
SStteepp 33::
For AM time, continue to move the hands forward until the
minute hand is approximately 5 minutes ahead of the desired
minute marker; then, gently turn back to the same minute marker.

OUT POSITION
INTERMEDIATE
POSITION
For PM time, follow the same procedure, but first advance the hands past 12 o’clock.
NNoottee::
The date will advance automatically at midnight, provided that AM and PM have been
established (steps 2 and 3). The watch calendar is programmed for a 31-day cycle. Therefore,
on the first day of any month following a month with less than 31 days, the date must be
advanced manually (see Step 5).
SStteepp 44::
Push the crown all the way to the “IN” position without turning.
SStteepp 55::
Pull the crown to the “INTERMEDIATE” position . Your watch will continue to tell time.
Slowly turn crown one way until correct date appears. Then, for day/date models, slowly turn
crown the other way until correct day appears.
NNoottee::
The day is printed in two successive positions on the day indicator: in English and in
Spanish on U.S. models; or in English and in French, on certain other models. It is possible to
make use of either position. The display will automatically remain in the language chosen. In
some models, the calendar cannot be changed manually between 9:00pm and 6:00am,
however, the mechanism will not be damaged if the crown is turned accidentally during this
period of time.
SStteepp 66::
Push the crown to the “IN” position. Your watch is now operating normally.

HOW TO USE THE ELAPSED TIME INDICATOR
If your watch is equipped with a rotatable outer dial with one-minute gradua-
tions, this can be used in various ways to check elapsed time. For example,
if a diver has a 30-minute air supply, he can set the outer ring so that the
triangle is in line with the minute hand when he submerges. The minute
hand will then indicate on the outer ring the length of time that the diver has
been under water.
SCREW-DOWN CROWN
If your watch includes a screw-down crown, you have additional assurance that it will remain
watertight. To make the crown operational, it must be turned toward you until the threads are
disengaged. Then, instructions for setting must be followed. To reseal the crown, press in until
threads engage. Turn away from you until tight.
IMPORTANT: Unless the crown is properly resealed, it will not be watertight.
DEEP WATER LIMITED WARRANTY
Supplementary and subject to all the provisions and duration of the basic Bulova watch limited
warranty, deep sea watches are further warranted not to leak when submerged in water to the
4
depth shown on the dial, provided crystal and crown remain intact and the case has been
unopened.
In order to assure the preservation of your watch’s water resistance, particularly in those
instances where the element of safety is involved, have it checked occasionally by a competent
watch technician and serviced or repaired, if necessary. In addition, the wearer should avoid
manipulation of the crown when submerged.
WATER RESISTANCE
Watch models marked only “Water Resistant” on the case back, without additional depth mark-
ings on the dial, are not to be used for swimming. For swimming, models that have the addi-
tional marking of “50m,” “100m” or “200m” on the dial are recommended.

IF SERVICE IS REQUIRED: Bulova timepieces have been engineered to provide years of use with
minimal need for service. In the unlikely event that service is needed, send a statement outlining
the specific nature of the problem, along with the timepiece in a durable, protective wrapping,
postage prepaid and with a $8.50 shipping/handling fee.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS FOR SERVICE
• Do not show the name “Bulova” as part of the address
• Use registered mail or insured mail.
• Carefully pack the timepiece in protective wrapping. Do not send in original box.
POST-WARRANTY SERVICE: Bulova’s staff of watchmakers is expert at repairing and restoring
Bulova timepieces. For repairs outside of warranty, a $10.00 charge will be assessed to cover
cost of evaluation, postage and handling if repair authorization is refused. Post-warranty repairs
should be mailed to the appropriate address.
